Best.Movie.Ever.

*Edit: Totally forgot to say this – yes, definitely go see it in 3D. I don’t know what it looks like on the regular screen but it was GORGEOUS in 3D!
Hello OD world! I’m trying to squeeze a quick entry in. My boss is on the warpath so I don’t want to get on her bad side by her finding me on stuff that’s not work related.

Anywho, I took J on a date on Sunday. I told him in December that I wanted us to have goals for this marriage in 2010. We still haven’t sat down to say what all of those goals are, but I did throw out that I wanted one of them to be date night. We’re not rich, and I’m too tired to be extra creative right now, so date night is once a month with us alternating months. My plan was that we have to go on the dates, even if we’re on the outs with one another. Go on the dates no matter what. Since it was my month, I took him to the classic dinner and a movie :~) We went to Acadiana for dinner. It’s a New Orleans/Southern Restaurant here in DC. The food is quite yummy! Unfortunately we ordered the same thing. I hate going to a restaurant with someone and getting the same thing. How am I suppose to taste off of their plate if they have the same thing??? :~) We both had the sweet corn and crab soup for appetizers, and the NY strip steak for dinner. Yum.mo!

We then headed to the movies, and since it was just 7 city blocks away from dinner, we walked. Dude…duuuuudddeee…it has been like, 10 degrees here in DC. The weatherwoman last night had the nerve to say it’s gonna be colder this coming weekend. It can’t get any colder!!! Ugh. Anywho, we went to see avatar. OMG. O M G. Everyone said it was good, but you don’t really understand how good until you see it. Man, it was so emotional! I had flashes of Iraq, and Africa and colonialism. I felt happy, angry, sad, energized, surprised, all in the same night. It was unbelievable. Before going to see it I asked the bff if she had seen it and how it was. She stared at me blankly and said…"what wasn’t it???" and now I get what she was saying. It was a little bit of everything. If you haven’t gone to see it, go now! After work. Seriously. You won’t regret it.

Back to work I go. I have some kind of stomach bug AND my sinuses are attacking me, wtf??? Ugh, bleh. But this WILL be a good day! I claim it!

God Speed,
Reina

I saw a billion previews for that movie on like four separate dates at the movie threatre, and it never seemed like something I’d be into because it was fantasy-like, but I guess I may to check it out at least online for free anyways. lol Glad date night went well! 🙂 I love date nights in relationships. I know what you mean about people ordering separate things. lol I love picking. 🙂 You aren’t comfortable with someone until you can pick off their plate. 🙂
